There is no Oscar the Grouch for OS X

For some reason I am constantly getting hits for searches like "oscar the grouch trash can application mac" and "oscar OS X trashcan." I know they are for a little app on Mac O.S. 7 that used to have Oscar the Grouch come out of the Mac Trash Can and sing "I love trash."

I am sorry to break it to you but, as far as I can tell, nobody has written one for OS X. Sorry.

In this forum thread (which might as well be a rumor of a rumor) states that its programmer will not do it because the lawyers will come after him. Eh... could be true.

So, again, I am sorry. And, yes, Oscar was the bomb. He is from whom I picked up all my anti-social tendencies.

Sorry for commenting to such an old post, but I created an "Oscar" workaround for my Mac Mini. It's not EXACTLY the same as the original Oscar app, but I like it. Download it (for free of course) at my website www.stephengilman.ca.

Oh I loved this app, sorry, the Google Muppet logo brought it all back to me. I still have it, buried in the depths of my system 7 emulator.
